The native people form Australia are the aborigines. They came to Australia form Southeast Asia about 40.000 to 60.000 years ago. This would say that this is one of the oldest native people in the world. Today the Aboriginals are about 1.5% of the Australian population. The Australian population is about 21 millions, this says that most of the population in Australia comes from European heredity.
If we are going to learn about the history of the Indigenous people in Australia, I think it’s important not to leave out the history of the Europeans and what role they played in the shaping of the Aboriginal history as we know it today.
